A real-time PCR assay using SYBR Green was optimized to detect those Bartonella that are most frequently described as pathogens. The assay was genus-specific. Sequencing allowed to distinguish species. Assay sensitivity was determined using 10-fold serial dilutions of genomic DNA. Dynamic range was 100 ng-100 fg and sensitivity was 50 copies/reaction.

Background: Emerging evidence shows that small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA), a type of highly conserved non-coding RNA, is involved in tumorigenesis and aggressiveness. However, the roles of snoRNAs in regulating alternative splicing crucial for cancer progression remain elusive.

Methods: High-throughput RNA sequencing and comprehensive analysis were performed to identify crucial snoRNAs and downstream alternative splicing events.

Introduction And Aims: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most prevalent malignancy of the head and neck. Early diagnosis of OSCC is difficult and the prognosis has not improved significantly. This study aims to explore the role of tubulin polymerisation promoting protein 3 (TPPP3) in the occurrence and development of OSCC and discover new diagnostic and prognostic markers for OSCC.

Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) poses significant clinical challenges regarding its diagnosis and treatment. Identifying biomarkers that can predict and diagnose POD is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Methods: To explore potential biomarkers for POD, we conducted bulk RNA sequencing (bulk-seq) on peripheral blood samples from POD patients and healthy controls.

The mammalian adipose tissue (AT) plays a key role in regulating immune function and anti-infective protection to maintain tissue regional homeostasis. However, it is still unclear whether there are differences in the participation of AT in primary and secondary immune response, and whether avian AT has the similar immune function characteristics to mammals. In this study, we used Newcastle disease virus (NDV) attenuated vaccine to induce primary and secondary immune response in chickens, and the changes of the key regulatory gene NR4A3 (nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 3) of T cells activation and its targeted miR-20a-5p were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR).

Background: Conflicting findings exist regarding the association between maternal serum zinc and neonatal birth weight. This study aimed to explore the association between maternal serum zinc and birth weight, and whether this association was modified by neonatal SOD2 polymorphism and promoter methylation.

Methods: We recruited 464 mother-newborn pairs at Houzhai Center Hospital from January 2010 to January 2012.
